All 2006 FIRST Robotics teams have 8 white battery plugs in their kits. These plugs are simply plastic flags doing 2 things:
1. To show which batteries are charged - plug them into the Anderson connector after the battery is removed from the charger.
2. The plug insulates the terminals inside of the Anderson connector.
Now, here is the neat part:
5 random FIRST teams got a special
BLACK plastic battery plug. Follow the previous link for more information. In a nutshell, these plugs give those 5 teams a $100 discount off of
AndyMark products.
Our marketing department conjured up this idea while watching a movie about a boy in a chocolate factory.
Enjoy,
